Could not leave a review in the app…

Could not leave a review in the app store. Why does the company say Gulf of American, rather than Gulf of Mexico? Is the company now partisan? Is the govt. now dictating what they say and do? So many people rely on their trusted weather reports, since the govt. has shut down many resources.

Stick to the forecast

When they write the local forecast just stick to what it is please no joking funny stuff because you didn't say the wind direction so it is kind of incomplete

Regressive control for users

I don’t have a clue to the recent changes to weather channel settings, but it is a product I can do without. I am a former weather briefer once certified by the NWS, as an indicator of my ability to make these comments. Your platform should return to giving end users reasonable control over how data is made available. The radar data sucks. Go back to providing user control.

They took away a nice hourly forecast…

They took away a nice hourly forecast interface and created an impossible way to see details without scrolling up and down based on what you want to see. We used to have temp, wind speed, wind direction, humidity all on one line and now there's a stupid graphic. Who's this for - people who don't know 60 degrees is higher than 50! Bring back the richer interface that was actually useful, please.

Horrible experience using the weather…

Horrible experience using the weather channel app on my phone, Constantly spams you with ads, and tells me to unlock to view the next 10 days of weather? what a complete joke that a weather app has to rely on a greedy subscription to operate normally! Horrible experience 0/10 do not recommend to anyone using this!

New Age Technology?

I have put up with the abundance of intrusive ads because I felt when you finally got information, it was fairly accurate. However, now the hour-by-hour has been reformatted so you can no longer see the percentage chance of rain, just what might fall in the bucket if we get any. You can look at the temp only, the precipitation only, the wind only etc..... We aren't in Kansas anymore for sure🙂‍↕️

The Weather Channel Website is too Hard to Get Details

The Weather Channel website has been progressively getting worse. I have given them feedback that they needed to provide more detail in the hourly and 15 minute forecast. As of this week they have made it much worse. If you need to see humidity, wind speed and direction in addition to the temperature and rain chances you have to go to 4 different screens. The column headings do not stay visible either so you have to go back all the way to the top to see the column headings. I canceled my subscription to premium. Now I use AccuWeather and Weather Underground. I use the weather to schedule prescribed burns.

The hourly layout has to go

I used to really appreciate the layout of weather.com, even though they were pretty bad at forecasting accurately. I go to the site on my android browser. Recently they began auto playing a short forecast when I looked at one of the days in the 10-day forecast. That was obnoxious, but they stopped. Now the hourly is just a complete annoyance and possibly the worst layout I've ever seen. I hope they go back to a simple table view. This current atrocity is torture to the eyes and brain.

Hourly forecast is useless now

I have put up with the over abundance of ads, but this latest update is terrible. When I look at the hourly forecast I want all my data in one place. That means precipitation, humidity, wind, and temperature. Having to flip back and forth between multiple tabs to see that now is a deal breaker for me. I will go elsewhere for my weather from now on.

This new layout today is just plain…

This new layout today is just plain dumb. I do not want to have to click Temp, Wind, etc individually to see what the Hourly conditions will be.

Whomever created this needs to be fired along with whomever approved it. That's how bad an idea it is.

The good news? There are other sites offering Weather information and that's where you'll find me after loving your site for decades. :-(
